Bourbon and motorcycles are why I have a perfect record of not killing anyone.
Living in the bourbon capital of the world helps

Add “Must be distilled in Kentucky” to the list of rules. I’ll drink to that!

I’m Irish and am hugely insulted by the existence of a bourbon day. *EVERY* day is bourbon day!
To: Red Badger
They missed one vital requirement, the water. Kentucky has pure water filter by limestone. The limestone leaves the good stuff, calcium and magnesium and removes iron which ruins a bourbon. I believe it also allows you to taste the unique flavors from the charcoal. If the limestone water was a requirement out of state whiskeys would not qualify as a bourbon.
I spoke to a distiller on a trip to Lexington, he said the best bourbons are from Kentucky and some parts of Tennessee because of the limestone filtration. The water is unique. He said bourbons from outside those areas either use local water industrial filtered to remove the harsh chemicals and the iron or they buy barrels of bourbon from different Kentucky distillers. They blend the bourbons, then market it under their own label. Best to stay with a bourbon from Kentucky. Lots to choose from. I recently saw bourbons for sale from distillers in New Jersey and one from Cali. My first thought was that old salsa commercial "made in New York City!" I suppose that if the harsh chemicals used to treat potable water in those regions are filtered out along with he iron they could produce a good bourbon with the right barrels.

There is an old saying that Bourbon must be made in Kentucky, however, this is a common misconception. “Kentucky Bourbon” is only produced in the state, but Bourbon in fact can be made in any of the 50 American states. Once the overall standards for Bourbon are met, it’s Bourbon.
The “Overall Standards” are the key.

Perhaps to celebrate the day, I will change from drinking rum to bourbon this evening.

I don’t imbibe, but my nephew will probably be popping open his Blanton’s Gold I got him for Christmas.

We decided that we will celebrate with Basil-Hayden. One of our friends gave us our first bottle of a few years ago. He was a covid casualty, so we make a toast to him every now and again, and always with the BH. Miss you, buddy!

I suppose I should have specified, not at the same time. Alcohol and motorcycles together are an absolute never happen with me

Great that you remember your friend that way. BH is Wifey’s favorite, too.
